Working at Mondelez International in Clarksville, TN: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Clarksville, TN Area

"Being a merchandiser is easy and straight forward: you build and stock displays, work the delivery onto the shelves, work back stock, recall stores on weekends (working back stock and conditioning shelves and displays) and ensure proper rotation.  It can be very labor intensive, particularly at Wal-Mart's and Krogers where the workload and deliveries are large so you better have a strong back.  Work hours and days are very flexible and the pay is certainly fair for what we do.  The major drawback; be prepared to deal with Sales Reps and Sales Associates who try to feed their own required tasks towards full and part-time merchandisers. Also prepare to deal with Sales reps and associates who write orders for displays without receiving confirmation from store management of a location for such displays, order it anyways and then expects you to do their job and haggle/negotiate for a display spot with store management. There are times that there are not enough merchandisers to sustain the required work load of deliveries at the stores making it extremely tiresome and more labor intensive than it has to be.  Also be prepared for Sales Reps of assigned stores on a particular day to both order and merchandise (work back stock because there are no deliveries that day and a merchandiser is not scheduled to service it) but not actually do the required merchandising; hence, they don't even work the back stock at all which in turn increases the workload of the merchandiser the next day.  I would give the company 5 stars if corporate would hold poor-performing lower management, sales reps, sales associates and merchandisers with more accountability, but overall it's still okay."
